When to Replace your Baltic Amber

When do I need to replace my Amber? How will I know when my Amber needs to be replaced? Does Baltic Amber have an expiration date? Keep in mind, Amber is fossilized tree resin, so it’s a fossil. All Amber by Amanda‘s Amber is 35-65+ million years old. It should not need to be replaced as long as…

Customer Testimony

I have fibromyalgia and was eager to try out my Amber jewelry. I have worn my necklace, bracelet, and anklet at all times (except for showering). I have noticed an improvement in aches and pains. Additionally, I have terrible cramps leading up to and during my moon time and was totally blown away when I…

RAW vs. Polished Baltic Amber

RAW Baltic Amber is… unpolished untreated unprocessed organic natural earthy opaque not shiny not translucent does not allow much light to pass through RAW Baltic Amber has a matte finish in appearance and is the true form of Amber, the way nature made it. It is also known to contain the most succinic acid when…

Amber Anklet or Necklace?

Is there a difference in healing benefits between an anklet and a necklace? The simple answer is YES. Baltic Amber is strongest where it touches the skin. While you will get the benefits from wearing either a necklace, anklet, or bracelet, you want your amber to rest against–or closest to–the area in need. As amber…

Well, the larger the beads, the more healing benefits as well, as they contain more succinic acid (Amber’s healing benefits). More beads = more succinic acid = more healing benefits Larger beads = more succinic acid = more healing…

Gemstones + Baltic Amber

I have been thinking about importing some gemstones for a while now. If I do this, these stones would be arranged in a pattern with the Amber pieces so the Amber will still be beneficial for healing purposes while getting a dose of the gemstones at the same time. The stones would only replace a small…

Real Baltic Amber is Imperfectly Perfect

There is beauty in things that are odd and imperfect, and being flawed is not always a bad thing. When you receive your Baltic Amber necklace (or bracelet or anklet) from Amber by Amanda, one the first things you will notice is your Amber’s imperfections. There are indentations, holes, irregular shapes, bumps, dimples, crevices, color…

What is the best Amber necklace for a boy (girl)?

What is the best necklace for a boy/girl? Is a RAW necklace too plain for a girl? Will a polished necklace make my son look too girly? Gender-related questions are very common. I believe all my necklaces at Amber by Amanda are gender neutral. RAW or Polished, they are appropriate for both boys and girls.…

Inclusions in Amber

One thing that makes Baltic Amber a scientific phenomenon is the fact that some amber pieces contain actual fossils of insects and plants because they get trapped in the resin during fossilization. These insect and plant fossils date back over 45+ million years! Such inclusions also give us an idea as to the age of the…
